Nine of America's top 3-year old thorough-breds set to race for the $1 million purse, Grade 1 stakes prestigious race.

Curlin is a young fast horse who keeps performing better every race. Curlin has only four races to his name, three of which he finished first by a total of 28 lengths. But he learned a valuable lesson in the Derby, he ran into a situation he was never in before by getting caught up in a lot of traffic early on. He managed to finish strong and secure third place. Another good sign for Curlin is that 20-30 minutes after the Derby in the test barn he fealt great. A sign he will be ready for the Preakness Stakes! He is 100% healthy and ready to race! Curlin's Sire is Smart Strike and his Dame is Sherriff's Deputy. Steven M. Asmussen is the Trainer and Robby Albarado is the jockey. Bet on Curlin at Even odds to beat Hard Spun.
